Chapter 428: Natural Spirit Embryo, hard to find an opponent in the human world
Gezao Lingbao Secret Mansion, deep cave.
The brilliance emitted by the Dan fireflies is like stars, illuminating this dim underground world.
Zhang Fan sat cross-legged on a large bluestone on the underground dark river, three feet above his head, the primordial spirit floating, the nine layers of primordial light already refined into one, like firelight, coming out of the Primordial Palace, descending to the Crimson Palace, refining essence and energy, turning yin and yang, descending and sinking into the Mysterious Palace.
At this moment, the aura around him was increasingly in line with the artistic conception of 【Dragon-Snake Merging Phase】 engraved on the dome.
"Little ghost, you have truly gained creation."
The low, hoarse voice sounded faintly, revealing deep emotion.
Whoosh...
Just at this moment, Zhang Fan stopped cultivating, the primordial spirit returned to the body, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Since swallowing the 【Dragon-Snake Great Pill】, he had been in seclusion here for seven days. Apart from occasionally going out to check Xu Jinshi's state, he had been cultivating here.
It must be said that the 【Dragon-Snake Great Pill】 truly seized the creation of heaven and earth. After swallowing it, it was vast and invisible, but its power seemed to merge into Zhang Fan's body.
If Zhang Fan's body is heaven and earth, then the power of the 【Dragon-Snake Great Pill】 turned into two poles, one nourishing the primordial spirit, one refining the physical body.
However, Daoist pills are very particular about swallowing, requiring a hundred days of refining and nourishing.
In this process, the body will have various changes, or need method reconciliation, or need external things to be born... very detailed, can be called a vast engineering science.
For example, after taking the pill, the heart fire is too strong, forming heat poison, which needs cinnabar to reconcile.
This kind of heat poison in the practitioner's body can still be controlled, but in the ordinary person's body, it is like a flood and a beast, not to mention taking cinnabar, which is poisonous, poison on top of poison, that is the way to take one's own life.
Precisely because of this, Daoist pills cannot be taken by non-practitioners. There are too many taboos. If you touch them at will, you seek longevity, but you are easy to die early.
"Refining pills without refining skills, a waste of time in old age," Zhang Fan sighed.
At this moment, he knew that in ancient times, those emperors, generals, and scholars who refined pills to seek immortality were how pathetic and ridiculous.
Only refining outer pills, not inner pills, is climbing a tree to catch a fish, seeking life from death.
"It's also a coincidence, still gained the shade of the ancestors of the Gezao Lingbao Sect," Zhang Fan whispered.
He knew that he might have benefited from Xu Jinshi, so he would have to repay this favor on Xu Jinshi in the future.
"Originally, with your cultivation and talent, it would take at least three to five years to refine an inner pill and achieve life cultivation completion. Now, it will take at most three months."
Although the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief was sealed here, his vision was still sharp.
Once Zhang Fan stepped into the 【Zhaishou】 realm, the inner pill was refined, and he realized the secret of 【Dragon-Snake Merging Phase】, he could use his primordial spirit to reverse yin and yang, mobilize the power of the Copper Mount Luoshan dragon vein, and help the Demon Chief escape the calamity and solve the seal.
Now it seems that this matter is easier to do.
Because the 【Dragon-Snake Great Pill】 Zhang Fan swallowed already absorbed the power of the dragon vein here, same sect and same source, mutually attracting, the difficulty was reduced a lot.
"The Gezao Lingbao Sect still has experts. Long ago, they foresaw the decline of inheritance and left such means," the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief sighed.
Mortals get the blessing of dragon veins and can prosper their descendants.
Powerful people get the protection of dragon veins and can become emperors and generals.
Practitioners get the creation of dragon veins and can look forward to feathering and ascending to immortality.
"Throughout history, I don't know how many alchemy masters and mountain and sea demons wanted to occupy the land of dragon veins, peek into the mysteries, and use the blessing of heaven and earth to ascend in one step," the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief sighed.
Unfortunately, dragon veins can be found, but the power they contain cannot be seen, touched, said clearly, or explained clearly.
Even Daoist experts and Xuan Gate masters find it difficult to truly peek into the mysteries of this power.
"Heaven and earth are vast, there is only one thing that can truly make this kind of power manifest."
"Natural Spirit Embryo!?" Zhang Fan's expression changed suddenly.
A natural Spirit Embryo truly seizes the creation of heaven and earth, nurtured by the essence of dragon veins, accumulating years, not knowing how many calamities it must pass to truly be born in this rolling red dust.
At this time, Zhang Fan instantly thought of the 【Natural Spirit Embryo】 nurtured in Toad Treasure Mountain. It had not yet been truly born, but it had such an aura, terrifying and extraordinary, even attracting the three major Celestial Masters to fight for it.
"That kind of thing... is only in legends," Zhang Fan sighed.
Natural Spirit Embryos, it is said that as long as they are born into the world, they have Three Tian Shi means. The most critical thing is that they possess long longevity, heaven cannot kill them, earth cannot punish them, terrifying and extraordinary.
Precisely because of this, this kind of thing is very difficult to be born into the world, and the calamity is beyond imagination.
"Senior... have you seen a real natural Spirit Embryo?" Zhang Fan could not help but ask.
This kind of thing is only in legends, but the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief was a top-notch existence in the world a hundred years ago, perhaps he knows one or two.
"I have seen it!"
"Seen it!?" Zhang Fan's brow jumped. Although he was mentally prepared, hearing this answer from the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief, he still felt quite surprised.
Looking at the long river of history, that kind of existence is rarer than the Pure Yang Limitless Realm.
"Bai He Guan... hides a natural Spirit Embryo, that is a living natural Spirit Embryo."
The voice of the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief became solemn.
"I once saw that person make a move. His strength was terrifying, already at the pinnacle of the human world, directly killing the then Master of the Primordial Palace of the Wu Wei Gate..."
"You know, that person was the guide of the Three Corpses Daoist and had a very high right to speak in the Wu Wei Gate, but he was beaten to death alive."
"Three Corpses Daoist... Zhang Kongming... his primordial spirit was also beaten to pieces. If he hadn't cultivated Three Corpses Illuminating Fate, he should have died in that calamity."
"By the way, there was also a confidante by the Three Corpses Daoist's side... who also died on the spot... I remember that girl seemed to be surnamed Li."
In a few words, Zhang Fan could imagine the tragedy of that calamity. Even for an existence like the Three Corpses Daoist, his path to invincibility was destined to be bloody.
That calamity was perhaps one of the most unimaginable pains in his life.
"That's right, there was also the big black dog by the Three Corpses Daoist's side... who almost died, thanks to the quick-wittedness of that little ghost from Zhenwu Mountain..."
"Also, at that time, he was just an ant-like thing. How could a natural Spirit Embryo take him seriously?" the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief sneered.
"Chu Chaoran!?"
"Is that big black dog still alive?" the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief asked casually.
"Alive!"
Zhang Fan's gaze lowered, and he said in a deep voice: "He has a new name now..."
"A new name?"
"Yan Wang!"
"Yan Wang? That big black dog also dares to call himself a king?" the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief laughed.
Truly, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys call themselves kings.
"He is a king in name and reality..." Zhang Fan whispered.
"The world's number one demon!"
As soon as this was said, the low laughter stopped abruptly.
"The world's number one demon!?"
Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, I don't know how many demon ghosts are hidden. Those who can be called the world's number one must be the best in the mountains and seas, invincible among the demon ghost heroes.
"That big black dog has actually reached this step..."
"Three Corpses Daoist... Yan Wang... these master and servant are both at the pinnacle of the human world..." the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief's voice became trance-like.
Back then, that big black dog was just a rising star in front of him, so immature that it could be ignored.
But who could have imagined that today, it is the world's number one demon. Even this former Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief has to bow his head in front of it.
"Yes, the human world has passed a hundred years... A hundred years of time, the red dust is very different," the Copper Mount Luoshan Demon Chief sighed.
At this moment, if he were sitting on the boat of the old era, drifting with the tide, stepping on the waves of the new era, the scenery of the human world had become extremely strange. ===== CHAPTER 429 =====
